Alone Again As Always

Image

It takes a wickedly mordant sense of humour

one that enjoys a joke at someone else's

expense when a joke isn't really meant to

be humorous but to humour the reluctant

toward a self-injurious solution to a truly

intractable problem, and a moribund sense

of morality to press that 'solution' on an ally

who views cause-and-effect and solutions

thereof through the lens of tried-and-true

experience that has seen attempts to reconcile

a relentless tide of recurring violent acts

with the imperative of existence alongside

a volatile neighbour whose intent is to

succeed in obliterating an established state

with its very special population finding the

long-sought solution to the security of their

existence through the re-establishment of 

their ancient homeland, under deadly fire.
